Tuesday we had occasion t(

Tuesday we had occasion 10 visit Curtis and Gurtlon on busi ness. At Curtis, we got acquain- ted with two clever merchants Dr Bourland, (who came near tracing kindship with us. by marriage of relatives in Miss.) and Mir. Frank Baldank. At Gurdon we were pleased to see oar clever friend, A. w. Newton, forging to the front, as it's most successful mer. chant; and Bro. Nash of the Ad- vocate, in improved health and doing well. Bro. N. kindly accom- panied us through the immense establishment of the Gurdon Lum. Der Co.,, which saws 5O,O00 feet of lumber per day; turns out about five cars of dressed, steam kiln dried lumber daily; logs are haul ed from six to ten miles in the in. terior, on well equipped railroad; It takes lJO hands to run the con cern, which is owned by St Louis capitalists.
 Monday evening a citizens Mass Meeting was held at the Court House, which discussed the ques- tion of establishing a cotton fact. ory at Prescott. The meeting was well tended and much interest manifested, and the following com. mittee appointed to canvass for subscription: ". R. White, w. B. Waller; w. H. Terry, R. L. Powers and Jno NJ Putnam. Col J. NJ. Montgomery was chairman and J NJ. Putnam Secretary of the meting, which will con vene again next Monday night. If the Mat, lock factory is found to be unsat- isfactory, it is proposed to buy now machinery, if sufficient money is subscribed towards the enter. prise. Now let our citizens show their zeal by their works s-put up the money. Our people seem to centre upon several of our prom inent capitalists as proper mana gers and leaders in the enterprise but all seem inclined to help. Let the good work go forward, with out delay. At the next meeting a committee will be appointed to inspect the Matlock machinery, etc., and report.

The Wheat Theory.

The orators and editors of the union labor party lay great deal of stress on the difference in the price of wheat twenty years ago and now. Direct from the farm ers' hands, very little wheat was sold for 800, while farmers had to pay such high price for farm labor and articles needed on a farm, that their profits were really less than they are now at 1J cents per busbel. This can easily be proven by figures. It is an out rage, to claim, that some seven laws passed by congress within twenty five years, are the sole cause that the mortgages cOntrac- ted while wheat was high price, have to be paid with 60c wheat, The fact that wheat was high price when these mortgages were contracted stands against their wheat theory. That the people are not in as deplorable a condi- tion as these agitatOrs contend, every thinking man knows. Now brother farmers, for class Ofmen to tell us, that we are in so much worse condition than we really are, is wrong; and trying to make us believe that our bad condition IS caused by certain laws, is trying to mi3lead us. The miserable con- tlitiou of the laboring classes ex- ists principally in the brain of the agitatorS; and the remedies offered are farce. The majority of these agitators are neither laborers nor farmers, and should not be trust. ed. If we labOrers and farmers in our different callings, will study our affairs, we will find that we have a good many shortcomings to overcome and errors to correct.
